This is a timely thread for me, as I am about to setup a software RAID
10 (a striped pair of mirrors), on 4 x 500GB SATA.
Anything to watch for by not partitioning the drives at all? Or is it
safer to make one partition, slightly smaller (suggestions of how much
welcome), than the full drive, to allow for possible size discrepencies
with replacemnets.
Also I am wondering as this is RAID0 on top of RAID1, if there are any
special steps that need to be taken when maintaining the array (adding,
removing, rebuilding etc), compared with a "single layer" RAID?
Regards,
Richard
